68 degrees

Today is the first really warm day of the year – warm enough that you can’t get away with wearing a coat without feeling very muggy.

Today is the first really warm day of the year – warm enough that you can’t get away with wearing a coat without feeling very muggy. In a happy coincidence, it’s also the first day in the last couple weeks where I haven’t had plans to hang out or travel two and half hours to a basketball or been dead tired from doing other stuff.

So, while I’ve got no chairs or tables set up on the patio, the concrete and wall are dry enough that I can lean back and type while looking at the still pond behind my house and all the leafless trees surrounding it while swatting bugs. It’s great to have spring back.

Since I do have time today, I might actually catch up like I’ve promised – but since that involves sitting inside watching a TV and this is the first time in 5 or 6 months I can sit outside and do stuff, I’ll put it off while I still have some daylight. (Or a close resemblance of that – I mean, it’s March in Illinois, it’s still awful cloudy). The things I can do outside is type on the blogs and link to stuff, so that’s what I’m going do for right now.

It was pointed out to me that I haven’t linked any of Mr. Albert Ching’s articles lately. I kinda forget – sometimes I have to be reminded to do obvious stuff, and I probably missed whenever Al pointed out his new articles. So you don’t miss ’em, here they are

  • Pop culture lost in Asian stereotypes – 03/03
  • Cactus League retains its majesty – 03/10
  • Today’s top story: nerds now in power – 3/24

    I liked the first one the best, but I’m biased.

    I know they’re in to make money and not just put what I want on the air and more people watch Family Guy, but they really ought to just put what I want on the air. BOOOOOOOOOOO.
